Black Widow Wear Logos.

Word with spider image #1.  I chose black and red mainly to represent the colors of the Black Widow Spider. The type face I chose to use is very bold and balances out the delicateness of the spider placed in the word itself.  I chose to make the words red to help stand it out from the black background and to make the spider stand out from the red letters.
Word with spider image #2.  I chose to use the spider as the negative white to help stand it out from the black background.  The type face I chose to use because it gave a feel of being web like.  I colored the "i" in red to represent the hour glass or dot image of the underbelly of the spider.  

Letter and spider image.  I chose the type face because the Black Widow Spider is very elegant in movement and bold in the same way and I chose the type to represent that.  I outlined the "W" in red to incorporate the red color of the spider.  The spider image I placed to look like it was crawling on the letter to interact them. 

Letter.  I wanted to use the spider somehow in this letter image and after playing around with it I came up with placing its back end where the curve of the "W" meet.  I broke up the letter with the spiders legs to make it more dramatic and different.  The colors of the black and red represent the spiders colors.  The red I chose to break up the areas where the legs separated the "W" to make it stand out.

Spider image.  I wanted to incorporate the "W" some how with out it being up front and center.  I took the letter and made it red and set it in the background and changed the way it looked to where it almost had a ghost like feel just floating in the background of the image.  The spider I made black and dominate in the foreground so you see the image of the spider first and then when look hard enough you see the letter behind it barely visible. 

Word.  I chose to use this kind of type face to represent the Black Widow Spider's web.  Its not perfect but its still elegant to look at.  The "i" is colored red to represent the color of the underbelly of the spider.

Black Widow Wear Statement

Black Widow Wear is a clothing company in the Action Sports category.  The spider can easily be manipulated onto each piece of clothing sold by the line.  The spider can also be used on skateboards, surfboards, and snowboards to represent the company.  The Black Widow's bright red hour glass like shape and rich black body is very distinctive and is easily replicated into the logo designs.  The line is typically for wearers of all ages but mainly for professional athletes.  I chose to use the type faces for some of the logos because they look almost web-like.  As if they were spun to say those words.  Other logos I used bold typefaces to show that Black Widow Wear is a strong company and to contrast with the delicate structure of the spider.
